Another three minutes lost today: https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/dauphine/2021/stage-5

Froome is way behind right now and he admits such a fact.

What a spectacular day! One of my favorite moments in road cycling ... ever. Quite a comeback for Cavendish #31

I almost shed a tear, hats off to Cav!

[Sagan97]

Pogacar will win the Tour, there's no doubt about it. But will Cavendish rewrite history this Sunday? What are your thoughts?

[Nikko]

So close! Cav got stuck in the end, but what a legend. This should be among 2021 top sports stories!

Win nr 35 in 2022?

Is anyone following the Olympics and road cycling events? Was Roglic's victory in TT a surprise to you?

I had a look at the races, yes. Roglic was one of the top 3 favorites (according to bookies too) and did not disappoint - the route was a great fit to him. Nevertheless, Carapaz was a bit of surprise.

Oh no, Fabio Aru will quit after Vuelta

   

[Zviedrs]

The last Grand Tour is here. Who's your favorite for Vuelta a Espana? General classification and others?

That's a shame. He looked decent recently, especially in Vuelta a Burgos.

Cheers to Tony Martin for winning World champ's gold in his final race as a pro. What a career!

[JoJoJo]

who's your bet for Flanders today?

[JoJoJo]

i'm rooting for Mads Pedersen and Trek today #parisroubaix2021

[Nikko]

What a great race so far - I missed Roubaix mud!
I won't be creative and will vote for Van Aert.

Too easy! Cav winning in Tour ... his first win to be precise.
